在Java 8中，你可以这样做

Files.walk(Paths.get("/path/to/folder"))
     .filter(Files::isRegularFile)
     .forEach(System.out::println);

它将打印文件夹中的所有文件，同时排除所有目录。如果你需要一个列表，下面的方法可以做到:

Files.walk(Paths.get("/path/to/folder"))
     .filter(Files::isRegularFile)
     .collect(Collectors.toList())

如果你想返回List<File>而不是List<Path>，只需映射它:

List<File> filesInFolder = Files.walk(Paths.get("/path/to/folder"))
                                .filter(Files::isRegularFile)
                                .map(Path::toFile)
                                .collect(Collectors.toList());

您还需要确保关闭流!否则，您可能会遇到一个异常，告诉您打开的文件太多。阅读这里了解更多信息。

File folder = new File("/Users/you/folder/");
File[] listOfFiles = folder.listFiles();

for (File file : listOfFiles) {
    if (file.isFile()) {
        System.out.println(file.getName());
    }
}

import java.io.File;


public class ReadFilesFromFolder {
  public static File folder = new File("C:/Documents and Settings/My Documents/Downloads");
  static String temp = "";

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    System.out.println("Reading files under the folder "+ folder.getAbsolutePath());
    listFilesForFolder(folder);
  }

  public static void listFilesForFolder(final File folder) {

    for (final File fileEntry : folder.listFiles()) {
      if (fileEntry.isDirectory()) {
        // System.out.println("Reading files under the folder "+folder.getAbsolutePath());
        listFilesForFolder(fileEntry);
      } else {
        if (fileEntry.isFile()) {
          temp = fileEntry.getName();
          if ((temp.substring(temp.lastIndexOf('.') + 1, temp.length()).toLowerCase()).equals("txt"))
            System.out.println("File= " + folder.getAbsolutePath()+ "\\" + fileEntry.getName());
        }

      }
    }
  }
}

package com.commandline.folder;

import java.io.File;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.util.stream.Stream;

public class FolderReadingDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String str = args[0];
        final File folder = new File(str);
//      listFilesForFolder(folder);
        listFilesForFolder(str);
    }

    public static void listFilesForFolder(String str) {
        try (Stream<Path> paths = Files.walk(Paths.get(str))) {
            paths.filter(Files::isRegularFile).forEach(System.out::println);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public static void listFilesForFolder(final File folder) {
        for (final File fileEntry : folder.listFiles()) {
            if (fileEntry.isDirectory()) {
                listFilesForFolder(fileEntry);
            } else {
                System.out.println(fileEntry.getName());
            }
        }
    }

}

关于这个主题的所有使用Java 8新函数的答案都忽略了关闭流。接受的答案中的例子应该是:

try (Stream<Path> filePathStream=Files.walk(Paths.get("/home/you/Desktop"))) {
    filePathStream.forEach(filePath -> {
        if (Files.isRegularFile(filePath)) {
            System.out.println(filePath);
        }
    });
}

从文件的javadoc。走路的方法:

返回的流封装了一个或多个directorystream。如果 需要及时处理文件系统资源 应该使用Try-with-resources构造来确保 流的close方法在流操作完成后调用。

如果你想要更多的选项，你可以使用这个函数来填充文件夹中文件的数组列表。选项有:递归性和匹配的模式。

public static ArrayList<File> listFilesForFolder(final File folder,
        final boolean recursivity,
        final String patternFileFilter) {

    // Inputs
    boolean filteredFile = false;

    // Ouput
    final ArrayList<File> output = new ArrayList<File> ();

    // Foreach elements
    for (final File fileEntry : folder.listFiles()) {

        // If this element is a directory, do it recursivly
        if (fileEntry.isDirectory()) {
            if (recursivity) {
                output.addAll(listFilesForFolder(fileEntry, recursivity, patternFileFilter));
            }
        }
        else {
            // If there is no pattern, the file is correct
            if (patternFileFilter.length() == 0) {
                filteredFile = true;
            }
            // Otherwise we need to filter by pattern
            else {
                filteredFile = Pattern.matches(patternFileFilter, fileEntry.getName());
            }

            // If the file has a name which match with the pattern, then add it to the list
            if (filteredFile) {
                output.add(fileEntry);
            }
        }
    }

    return output;
}
